Jason / Verismo,
Thanks much, this is exactly the feedback I'm seeking.
I'm 5'9" with an 11" ------- on my B but I'm still begging for more wind when it is hot but less wind when it is cold.
The first gear comment interests me greatly because I too believe the 1st gear on the B is terrible. If it is worse on the C.....
Also, ride by wire is one of the things that has me very interested in the '18 Wing. The throttle control on my '13 FJR was superior to the F6b. Not sure I want to take a step backward there.
If nothing else, I'll have to pay very special attention to the ergos during the test ride. Sitting on the showroom floor I didn't notice any issues with the bar reach but showroom floor never equals real riding position.
Thanks much for your response. This will help me focus on the correct area during the test ride.
